i have tested nginx and apache with the "ab" tool. This is my results:

Apache: Requests per second: 6058.62 [#/sec]

Nginx: Requests per second: 1170.02 [#/sec]

this is my nginx.conf:

@@@@@

user nobody nogroup; worker_processes 10;

error_log logs/error.log; pid logs/nginx.pid;

events { worker_connections 512; use eventport; #sol 10+ }

http { include conf/mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream;

log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] $request ' '"$status" $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" ' '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

access_log logs/access.log main;

sendfile off; tcp_nopush on; tcp_nodelay on; keepalive_timeout 65;

#gzip on;

root /home/mywebsite; index index.php;

client_max_body_size 128k; client_body_buffer_size 128k;

server { listen 80; server_name www.mywebsite.com;

#access_log off;

# # PHP #

location / { client_max_body_size 128k; client_body_buffer_size 128k;

root /home/mywebsite; index index.php index.html; }

location ~ \.php$ { include /nginx/conf/fcgi.conf; fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/fastcgi.socket; fastcgi_index index.php; }

error_page 404 /404.html;

location /404.html { root /home/mywebsite; charset on; }

What can i do more to make it faster ??
